Uh, I think I might actually have some spending problem. Since the start of the sale (29th June) I spent 674,87€ just on games in steam store, and also spent a bit on cards and on different sites. And I spent additional 224,9€ in steam store in June before the sale even started.

I managed to keep it reasonnable, I think.

Submerged: Hidden Depths - $2.99 (-90%)
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Launch - $4.49 (-85%)
Watch_Dogs - $4.49 (-85%)
Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered - $3.99 (-80%)
Various small games - $7.56 (-55% to -80%)
Various DLCs - $6.72 (-65% to -80%)

Some of these were games I would constantly keep an eye out for on SteamGifts. I guess I'll be one less participant in those games' futur draws!

Not on Steam, but I ended up getting a bundle with Death's Door and Inscryption on Nuuvem. Only played a bit of Death's Door so far, but it's pretty good.

Well, I think my Summer Sale and parallel sites such as Humble (plus the week or so leading up to it since it was a shared budget) has concluded most likely. Some ups and downs (refunds) lol, but in the end, it has looked like this (all playable on the Steam Deck):

Mortal Shell: The Virtuous Cycle
Burrito Quest
Fostering Apocalypse
Bottle [Remake]
Hike Valley
Control Ultimate Edition
Disco Elysium - The Final Cut
Knights and Bikes
Mutazione
Beacon Pines
Cloud Gardens
Ghost on the Shore
Cult of the Lamb
Dredge
TUNIC
Miasma Chronicles
Cyberpunk 2077
Octopath Traveler

And the latest Humble Choice of course.

And was gifted Lake, Woodland Hike and Lost Dream: Stars

I did also buy and play A Plague Tale: Requiem just before all this using the same budget.

I already played through Dredge, Hike Valley and Miasma Chronicles; am not quite 10 hours into Octopath Traveler.

I think these and Humble Choice over the next few months will keep me quite occupied leading into the Autumn Sale.

The Crew 2
Forgotton Anne
Nexomon: Extinction
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

And from Fanatical which offered greater discount on these:
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
Yakuza: Like a Dragon

My poor backlog...

Nothing yet :')

I am afraid to look.

Only bought Diablo 3 on BattleNet. Worth every penny, really good game.

And given about 40 various keys to people

I only bought Tekken 7 and Portal but I am still heavily contemplating purchasing Satisfactory.

me trying to find a game on steam that isn’t significantly cheaper on other official reseller/grey market sites challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Pretty hard to get excited by steam seasonal sales these days when it just doesn't make much sense to buy games there unless you already have some steam wallet funds. Their refund policy is the only saving grace at this point.

But ranting aside, ended up buying Persona 5 Royal so far, strongly considering getting few of these: Timespinner, Pronty, Owlboy,
Little Noah: Scion of Paradise, Glimmer in Mirror, UnderMine, Shadows over Loathing, Critters for Sale and few others.

Will try to gift some games to friends/SG too if (regional prices be damned!) I can make it work.

All Dark Souls + DLCs and Elden Ring. Total was something like $88.00 (charged in R$), at nuuvem.com. No regrets at all.

Spent about $2 on Steam for StormBoy plus some SteamWorld Heist DLC.
Other than that, I bought a bundle on Fanatical plus Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow
Bundle to get Camp Canyonwood, Garden Story, Redout: Space Assault, and Soulstice

Not much for me, just grabbed some games i saw were on a very good discount:

Stronghold Crusader 2 Special Edition
Chariot - Royal Edition
People Playground
SteamWorld Heist

Just some DLC

Broke down and bought -
The Three Brothers - DLC for Outward. Been meaning to get this.
Serious Sam 4 - Been wanting this for a LONG time.
Witcher 3 Complete,

Cyberpunk 2077
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
Distance Soundtrack & Artbook
Trepang 2 (Humble Bundle)
System Shock (the new one, Green Man Gaming)

Spent about $115.

Wanted to get a couple more, but I'm going to save the remainder of my Steam wallet for Starfield. 🚀

Kittens and Yarn
One Line Coloring
